THE NEW YORK LABOR MEErINGlf
Quite a Misunderstanding Arises Between

demonstration announ ced to take
place tonight in honor of William
OBrien was good deal of
q fiasco, owing to the fact that the labor
people insists that the cause of Rev. DR..
McGlynn should be approvingly intro
duced into the resolutions to be adopted at
the Union Square meeting, and that Henry
Georges land theories should also be adVo-
Gated.
When Mr.. O'Brien looked through the
resolutions and erased DIR. McGlynn and
the George land theory topics especially
that which spoke of the persecution of Nc
ely nm, he sent them back to the commit
tee that prepared them. The committee
became excited and had an extended
wrangle over what should be done. Law
yer Louis +. Post, on the card to intro
duce Mr.. O'BrieD at the meeting, declared
BE would not attend the meeting unless
the resolutions were read in their original
shape. The following form was agreed
upon:
Resolved, By the working people of New
York in mass meeting assembled that we
welcome William o Brien TO our city and
assure him of our sympathy with his mis-
sion to America. We abhor the system of
robbery by which Lord Lsnsdowne
grows rich at the expense of the impover-
ished people, we denounce the cruelty of
expelling the Irishmen from from the soil
on which they were born, and
condemn those laws which by
treating the land of Ireland
as private property made such
Ireland belongs Of right to the people of
Ireland, and in the pending struggle there
we recognize the same irTepressible conflict
between natural right and vested wrong,
in which we, in this country, are engaged.
e. Resolved, That we watch with sympa-
thetic interest..tbe progress of the revolution
in Great Britain, inspired by men like
Messrs. Parnell, Davitt and 0Brien, and
led by Mr.. Gladstone, which gives
promise to Ireland OF Government of
the people, by the people and for the peo-
pie. under which private ownership of land
shall be abolished and the gifts OF nature
and natures God be equally enjoyed by all.
Resolved, That we proclaim the God
given right of every people TO govern them
selves, without any foreign interior
ence or dictation whatever, and that
we denOunCe the bill for the
coercion of Ireland now pending in
the British Parliament and the threat of
communication made from Italy against
the patriotic American priest who has
favored Irish revolution as meriting the
condemnation of HDerty-loving men the
world over.
"Resolved, That we denounce the bru-
tality exhibited toward Mr.. 0'Brien in
Canada by ruffians acting under the en-
couIagement of the 'savlors of society
there, as an interference with the rights
of free speech and an sttempt by lawless
violence to shield one of highlands lords
OF the earth from the contempt with which
the exposure of his cruelty aud plumber
Ing must inspire all human and honest
men.
Resolved, That in the further prosecu-
ton of his mission against the iniquity
of landlordism, Mr.. O'Brien has
the sincere sympathy and earn
est cooperation of the working
people of New York, whose hands are
ever ready and their hearts willing to help
in the struggle of the disinherited OF the
earth for their rights as citizens and their
birthright as men,"
Later Mr.. O'Brien learned that John Nc
Mackln, who presided at the two lectures
deliver ed by z. ]. lyman, the alleged mo.
~ of the Phoenix Park murder Dotoriety,
was 10 preside at the Union Square meet
ing. He at once resolved to have nothing
to do with any assembly that couutenaHced
McMackin, and made his resolve known.
The committee, however, determined to
throw over O'Brien rather than McMackin,
who conducted the Henry George campaign
last fall. The result was that 0Brien did
not appear either in the parade or at the
meeting.
The parade was long in starting, owing
to a LACE of understanding. The different
organizations formed on Fifth avenue and
waited for the signal to start until many
people thought they would never move.
at last they got off and the 10 600 process
sionists moved down the avenue, head
ed by the Sixty.ninth Regiment,
to the platform in Union
Square, where the meeting was held and the
speeches made. There was assembled at
least 10000 people, among them many
women. On the piazza of the cottage, fac
ing the plaza at the upper end of the
square we're DR.. McGlyDn, John McMack-
in, the chairman of the Executive Commit
tee of the United Labor party of this city
DR.. Edward Malone, the State delegate
OF the Irish National League; Rev. G. P.
Mccarthy and Mrs. MacGathan, widow OF
| the late war correspondent.
McMackin, who presided, delivered the
opening speech. he said the land of Ire.
| land, as that of all other lands, WIS the
| free gift of the Creator TO bis children, and
could not by any Law be made the prop
elty of individuals.
James p. Archibald, who next spoke, said
that If O'Brien had any feeling in common
with the people, he would never have in
| suited the Labor party by refusing to speak
on the same platform as John McMackin.
| DR.. McGlynn, who was loudly cheered
on rising to speak, said they had assembled
| to greet o. Brien, not as q man or an indi
| vidual, for many of them knew little
about him and cared less for his mere per-
sonallty, but for the sake of the cause ht
| represented. III O'Brien had been sc
ill.edvlsed they could not blame
him as they did thoses who advised him
1t was a shocking thing, after havinf
been bonored by an invitation of the
United Labor party, the Knights Of Labol
and Central Labor Union, to dare dictat'
to them and scratch and cross out portions
OF the resolutions. The message they
wished to send to the people of IRELAND
was one of sympathy with their wrongs.
After DR.. McGlynns speech the resolu
tions were read and adopted.
Speeches were also made by Rabb
Browne, Charles p. Mccarthy, Mrs. Mar
gazette Moore and others.
Mr.. O'Brien has written for the Sun TIT
following statement Of his reasons for no
appearing at the demonstration:
81 most deeply regret that anything
should occur which prevents me from ex
pressing in person my gratitude to tn
working classes of New York for the loya
and hearty service, / am quite sure, the,
intended to render to the cause of Irelan'
by their demonstration tonight. / wa
forced to abstain from participation In tn
proceedings because the only ALTERNATIVE
left me was to infiiot what knew woul
be deadly blow ct the movement i
